"There’s been a very well coordinated program by the doctor with thoroughness in checking into my blood chemistry and physiological makeup. I’m feeling myself again. At one time when I was getting medications from my regular doctor I was getting numbness and tingling in one of my legs from diabetic neuropathy. But since I’ve gone on this program and followed it, the numbness has gone away, my legs feel springier, I actually walk my dog and even started to jog a bit. And at one time I couldn’t cut my grass without taking a five minute break every ten minutes. Dr. Bletzinger’s program has been tremendous and I hope to continue the success that’s going. It’s been very successful and I appreciate the doctor’s help."

Ever feel like your shoulder’s stuck in Groundhog Day—pain, rest, repeat? You stretch, ice, rest… and still can't lift your arm without wincing? Yeah. You’re not broken—you’re just missing the right roadmap.
Why shoulder pain often doesn’t resolve on its own
The real reason rest and random stretches don’t fix the problem
Our 3-phase recovery roadmap for long-term results
Simple progress markers so you know it’s working
What makes our approach different and effective
You’ve iced it. Stretched it. Tried every YouTube exercise under the sun. And yet, your shoulder still aches. Still clicks. Still keeps you up at night.
That’s not your fault.
Most people are given vague advice, such as “just rest” or “try some exercises,” without a clear plan to help them overcome pain and regain strength. If you're stuck in this cycle of pain and frustration, the problem isn’t your effort. The problem is the plan.
Let’s fix that.
You wouldn’t build a house without blueprints. So why try to rehab your shoulder without one?
Here’s what we see every day:
People randomly trying shoulder exercises without knowing if they’re helping or hurting
Resting too much, leading to stiffness and more pain
Doing a “one-size-fits-all” rehab that doesn’t match their body or goals
Your shoulder is complex. It works with your neck, spine, shoulder blades, and core. If one piece is off, the whole system can break down. That’s why you need a clear, step-by-step system not just a set of band-aid exercises.
We use a simple but powerful framework that walks you from pain and limitation back to freedom and confidence.
Pain shuts your shoulder down. Our first goal is to calm things down and get your range of motion back, gently. We use:
Specific mobility techniques
Gentle hands-on therapy
Controlled movement to re-activate motion safely
This is where people start to say, “It’s finally loosening up.”
Once you’re moving well and pain is under control, it’s time to get strong again, but not just “gym strong.”
We target:
The small stabilizers that protect the shoulder
Your shoulder blade mechanics
Core control to offload stress from the shoulder
You’ll feel your shoulder become more stable, more trustworthy, and less reactive. This is when day-to-day tasks become easy again.
Now we go from functional to powerful. This final phase is all about:
Getting you back to overhead work, lifting, or sports
Addressing full-body movement patterns
Preventing future flare-ups
Most importantly, we teach you how to stay out of pain without needing constant care. That’s freedom.
Forget guessing. We track your real-world progress:
Increased Mobility — You’ll notice easier movement day-to-day, with data to prove it.
Reduced Pain — Less sharpness, fewer flare-ups, and more comfort at night.
Improved Strength — Lifting, reaching, and carrying without hesitation.
Confidence — You’ll stop wondering, “Is this going to hurt?” and start trusting your body again.
Return to What You Love — Gardening. Sports. Picking up your grandkid. Whatever your goal, it’s back in reach.
The shoulder is just one part of the puzzle. If your spine is stiff, your posture’s off, or your core isn’t supporting you, your shoulder takes the hit.
That’s why our plan looks at everything, not just your symptoms. We treat the root causes of shoulder pain so the results actually last.
You don’t have to keep spinning your wheels, hoping your shoulder “magically” feels better.
You need a roadmap. A real one.
One that’s worked for hundreds of people just like you.
Let’s find out what’s keeping you stuck and fix it for good.
This 1-on-1 session helps you:
Pinpoint what’s wrong
Understand exactly what phase you’re in
Get your next steps mapped out clearly
Or grab our Shoulder Self-Test here to see if it’s time to take action.
You’ve waited long enough. Let’s get you back to moving like yourself again.
